So far a leader of a military group, which has just overthrown a democratic elected leader, which cooperates with the Wagner group to secure their might, claims that France is doing that.
I would put a big question mark behind that claim and wait for reliable sources.
Democratically elected my ass. The popular support for the coup, however misguided it is, seems overwhelming among the locals
We the french have no right to force a democracy upon them. Doesn't matter how stupid we think this is
Russian propaganda did a good job there. I lough if they think Russia will solve their problems.
They haven't overthrown any democratic elected leader, the only person they've overthrown was Bazoum.
